We are hiring at Holy Cross Village, and stories like Kendall’s are exactly why people choose to grow their careers here.

Two years ago, Kendall Evans joined our team as a CNA. When a Qualified Medication Aide position became available, we recognized her passion for serving residents and supported her promotion into the role. As part of that step forward, Holy Cross Village helped cover the training required, something Kendall shared made it possible for her to take this next step in her career.

Pictured here with Kendall is Jo Barger, who has called Holy Cross Village home for 18 years. At 94 years old, Jo continues to live independently and even still drives. The relationships between residents and staff are what make this community so special.

Kendall is currently pursuing nursing school and hopes to continue serving right here at Holy Cross Village as a nurse.

If you are looking for meaningful work in a place where people truly care about one another and support your growth, we invite you to explore the roles we currently have available. The link is in the comments.

The Holy Cross Village Family mourns the loss of Fr Genaro Aguilar CSC, known affectionately by residents and staff as "Fr. G.", who died on the morning of March 17. Fr G faithfully served our community at Holy Cross Village as a Chaplain from 2021-2024.

In Fr G's time at the village, he presided at Mass, visited our residents in Dujarie House, anointed the sick and was a pastoral presence for all of us. Staff and residents remember his prayerful spirit, his pastoral presence and his dancing skills that brought smiles to anyone who was closeby.

We will miss you Fr G. May he rest in peace.

This week, we’re proud to celebrate Long Term Care Administrator Week by recognizing our Vice President of Health Services, Martin Lebbin!

Marty has been with us for the past nine months, quickly becoming a valued part of our campus community. While his time here may be recent, he brings with him years of experience in health services and a steady, thoughtful approach to leadership.

What stands out most about Marty is his compassion. He cares deeply about our residents and is committed to ensuring they receive the highest level of care, dignity, and respect each day. His presence has made a meaningful impact on both our team and the individuals we serve.

We’re grateful for the experience, leadership, and heart Marty brings to our community.

It is wonderful to see the work of Father Tim O’Connor being highlighted.

Fr. Tim served as chaplain at Holy Cross Village for many years before moving to the University of Notre Dame to serve as a faculty and staff chaplain about two years ago. Father Tim is also a Holy Cross priest.

We’re glad to share this and recognize the good work he continues to do. His daily presence is missed here by staff and residents.

It is hard to narrow down precisely what University chaplains Revs. Tim O'Connor, C.S.C., and Michael Mathews, C.S.C., do for campus employees. Talking with fa…

Today we remember and honor the life of Lou Holtz, a legendary leader whose impact on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football and the entire South Bend community will never be forgotten.

Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame was honored to support the memorial published by the South Bend Tribune with this image, reflecting the deep respect and gratitude our community holds for Coach Holtz.

More than championships and victories, Coach Holtz was known for his character, faith, and unwavering belief in people. His leadership shaped generations of student-athletes and inspired countless individuals throughout our region and across the country.

Rest in peace, Coach. Your impact will continue to echo through Notre Dame and the South Bend community for generations.
